TOBACCO-PIPE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 5 1,024, dated November 21, 1865.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J AMEs CUNNINGHAM, of Bangor, in the county of Penobscot and State of Maine, have invented a new and Improved Tobacco-Pipe; and I do hereby declare that the followin gis a I'ull, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which` Figure lis a perspective view ot' my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the mouthpiece, and Fig. 4 is aview of the bottom ofthe bowl.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several igures.

This invention consists in a peculiarly-formed socket and reservoir, in which the bowl and mouthpiece are inserted and the oil of the smoke is condensed; and also in a mouthpiece formed with a plurality of orilices, by reason of which the smoke passes from the pipe cool and purilied.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

A represents the bowl, which may be of any suitable material and of any desired design. The bottom ofthe bowl Ipert'orate with a plurality of holes near the outer circumference of its cavity, as shown atcZ d, Fig. 4.

B is the socket and reservoir, which I construct of metal. It is formed to receive the bowl A and mouth-piece a, as is shown clearly in Fig. 2. Between the bowl A and mouthpiece a is the reservoir or cavity, which is shown atB, Fig.2. The smoke passingthrongh the perforations d d in the bottom ofthe bowl A and near its outer circumference, is brought in direct contact with the cooling metallic surface of the reservoir, whereby the temperature of the smoke is reduced and the oil contained therein is condensed and remains in the reser- Voir.

The mouth-piece a is formed with a hollow point or tube, b, projecting into the reservoir B, beyond the point ot' contact between the mouth-piece a, and reservoir B, by means of which the oilis prevented from owing through the oritiees in the mouth-piece. The outer end of the month-piece a is formed with aplurality of orices, c c, radiating from the central orifice, thus dividing the current of smoke and preventing its remaining warmth from being concentrated upon a single point in the month, as is the case with a mouth-piece formed with but a single orice.

The bowl A, month-piece a, and socket B are separated or united, being formed with corresponding male and female screws, as is shown in Fig. 2, and any desired length of stem may beintervened between socket B and mouth-piece a.

Among the advantages of my invention may be enumerated its cheapness as compared with its value arising from the facility of its manufacture, the bowl being formed in the lathe and the socket easily and rapidly multiplied, while from its peculiar construction and arrangement the oil of the tobacco is condensed and the smoke rapidly cooled, and its durabilityis insured by its simplicity of construction.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

I. The socket and reservoir B, in combination with the bowl A, when arranged and constructed substantially as described.

' 2. The combination of socket and reservoir B, bowl A, mouth-piece a, and tube b, when constructed and arranged to operate substantially as described.
